Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was so fun & busy this year that I hardly took any pictures.  So you'll just have to trust me on this one, it was a good one.  The Herzogs joined us for dinner and we were so happy to have their cute family to share this special night with. 

I made a feast fit for a king (if I do say so myself) . . . honey glazed ham, potato casserole, butternut squash gratin with pecan-thyme streusel, green beans with baby bellas, creamed corn with bacon bits and rolls.  Janet brought a strawberry salad and we enjoyed chocolate cream pie and blackberry cheesecake.  Oh, if I could only have that dinner again without all the work.  Sigh. 

My parents arrived a little later than expected but still in time to eat and play with the kids.  The kids opened their one Christmas Eve present of matching jammies and went to bed excited for Santa!  And thus began a 10 day busy holiday with Nana & Papa.
